For years, Matt Cline has been one of Nicholas Wines favorite winemakers, consistently over-delivering on every project I’ve seen him work on. Many of you know him for his work with Zinfandel, Mourvedre and Carignan. But his Cabernets are easily my favorite in his arsenal. Here’s why.
Unlike the zinfandel and red blend varieties that are made to drink in their youth, Matt’s Cabernet program is much more patient and deliberate. Though he obtains a mere block of fruit from Suscol Creek vineyard for this Cabernet, he has the wine sit in new French Oak barrels for 22 months where they beautiful integrate with the wood and smooth the racy wine into a well structured animal.
Hailing from southern Napa Valley and the same vineyard where nearly a quarter of Phelps 2015 Insignia was drawn from, Matt Cline’s big brawny 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted. Patiently aged for 22 months in French oak, the Three Suscol Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is made from fruit grown on Block 5 of the Suscol Creek Vineyard. It boasts flavors of blackberry, figs and black currants with notes of tobacco and cedar. The wine is dense and rich with a synchronized, silky texture and firm tannins giving it a lush mouthfeel and a lengthy finish.

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
